#I LOVE FANFIC WRITERS

[silentlyscreamingatyou]

As someone very new to reading fanfiction, I cannot get over how talented people are. Y’all are out here writing literal novels, novels better than the canon material, and NOT GETTING PAID FOR IT?!

I’d throw a million kudos at each one of you if I could.

u know the way you bitches saw two pictures of this man and were able to write thousand word fics about him is genuinely inspiring

The feminine urge to write an atyd level fic for new gen Harry Potter where the slytherins have their own marauders-esque friend group and scorpius and albus are the main focus ship. UGHHHHH THE URGUE TO WRITE A FATHER SON ARC FOR AL AND HARRY THAT GOES INTO DETAIL ABOUT HARRYS TRAUMA AND HOW IT EFFECTS HIS PARENTING!! The heavy looming weight of the urge to write a strained sibling relationship for James and albus because they are THEE prodigal son and the cursed child.

THE WAY I WOULD WRITE THE PERFECT FRIENDS TO LOVERS FOR SCOR AND AL . the way I would add the best oc who the fandom will fall in love with and regard as canon for years to come UGHHHH

trip's tempus slice of life fics mean the world to me

A part of me can’t believe fanfiction exists. Like, your telling me that you took time out of your day to write this amazing story, taking hours to make sure you get everything just right. Sharing it online for me to enjoy because the silly little guys wouldn’t leave your brain. And I get to read it for free?? Amazing, really.

Not trying to be messy or bitchy on main, but why don't y'all review fanfics anymore? Why don't y'all comment on the stories y'all have read and liked? Like, deadass, as a writer/creator myself, if I slave away and put my whole ass pussy into creating and crafting these really good stories, and nobody reviews them, what's my incentive to keep creating?

And I've heard it be said thousands of times that you should do it for fun! You should do it because blah blah blah! And I get it! I really! It's not good to create solely because of x, y, and z and that's valid, but! I'm also doing this shit for free. Like, fanfic authors bust their asses writing for free. This is a free consumption, and I'm just saying, if you like or love the stories written, why can't y'all let it be known? Why can't y'all comment and review it? It literally doesn't take even a third of the effort it took the writers themselves to write the damn shit.

I remember when I first got into fanfiction and I was in awe, okay? There were so many wonderful stories and authors and you bet your right testicle I made sure I left reviews. Hell, I would even PM them and let them know that hey, I really loved that fic you wrote! This is what it meant to me and thank you so much for not only writing it, but being brave enough to share it with the world because regardless of the ship/fandom/etc., that takes guts!

And y'all won't even do the bare minimum. And then have the nerve to wonder why the quality of writing is shit or why people are leaving the fandom spaces. It makes no sense that stories that are so horribly written and out of character have hundreds, if not thousands of reviews, but the actual good shit barely has fifty, and that's me being generous.

I'm just tired of putting all this effort into shit that I'm not getting anything back from because it's not enough to love what you do. Like, why is it bad that I want people to leave long or nice comments on my work? Why is that me being greedy to want some positive engagement on my content? Or unless I write for popular ships, people won't read my shit? Which isn't bad, because if I like a ship, regardless of if it's popular or canon or so on and so forth, I'm gonna ship it, but still.

And not even that's a guarantee that people will read it, and I don't like don't gimmicky shit. I don't like feeling like I have to dim the quality of my work to get people to fuck with my shit, and it's not me being insecure in my writing because I'm a damn good writer. I know what I bring to the fucking table, but how are we supposed to keep the fandom spaces alive if nobody's engaging with shit anymore?

I would like to thank every fanfic author who posts a new chapter right after the race. It's exactly what I need to calm down 🥰

[okaybut-merelyplayers]

God I LOVE FANFICTION. What do you mean there's a world where people can share their little stories about known characters and I can read them while I kick my feet over what canon never gave me?? HOW COOL IS THAT

[qyburnsghost]

When you try to look up Aemond bl0wjob fics and tumblr gives you a warning about subject matters 😒

(I just wanna read some graphic extensive sloppy toppy about my man 😔)

[beprimedfordancing]

so upset that my favorite characters are trapped in a video game like wdym there isn't a show with an infinite number of episodes all about specifically mk11 sub-zero 😞😞 ... I get why fanfiction was invented

[silentlyscreamingatyou]

Anyone else read so much fanfiction that it’s hard to remember what is canon and what isn’t? Makes it harder when fanfic authors are better writers than the creator.
